ask any commercial pilot. Can you imagine the precision and superhuman skills it would take if you flew a?

Question

giant commercial airplane at 400 mph and hit an exact point on a building and not hit the ground before the building. can you imagine the angle that giant plane would have had to take to perform such a feat as it hit the pentagon on 9-11-01. Dismiss this as the rantings of a conspiracy nut if you want, or take a few seconds to think about it. when you see a plane land, it comes down very slowly.America's best jet fighter pilot could not have done as good as the "muslim hijackers" who recently finished flight school.

if you say i'm ignorant on this, enlighten me, and explain how a plane of that size could come down at such an angle and not even hit the ground, i am willing to listen.

and... there is no video to watch... i know they released the last 5 frames.... but i know that no one can see anything in those frames.... that's why they released them.

blue steel and lace.... keep beleiving the lies the media feeds you... must be nice to live in a fantasy world... i should know, i lived there a long time.

mr bellows, i obviously have done more research than you have, if you did research, you might learn how a small fire can completely demolish from top to bottom a 110 story skyscraper... its never happened before when a giant plane has crashed into a building.... do some research and you will see that.

Answer 1

I was stunned to learn from a documentary shown on TCL/Disc Channel, that the they found Mohammed Atta's luggage intact at the airport and the FBI picked it up in the evening! The luggage had passports, document showing how to attack etc etc. This was the first concrete proof to me that that there was something more than that meets the eye. I was asking myself - why would Atta carry a suitcase full of these documents when he knows full well that he was dying very soon? Did Atta want to carry these docs to brag with the virgins in the heaven that he was the one who wreaked so much davastation on The Great Satan?

By way of trying to give more details to make the allegations more convincing to the American public, "they" got caught in lying. Or so what it appears to be.

Answer 2

It depends. Most civilian airliners are very easy to fly. However, you just can't jump into the seat and expect to know how to land it. Flying is actually pretty easy. Keep the plane level, and keep the engine throttle settings at a range that will keep the airplane from slowing down and stalling. The newest Airbus commercial jets have computer controlled engines that keep the aircraft at a set speed no matter what. Landing is a different beast all together. Every US fighter pilot has had the basics of flight taught to them before they became fighter pilots, and practiced landings until they had it down pat. However, that was usually on a small aircraft (such as the T-37 or T-38) which has different characteristics of flight than a large commercial aircraft such as an Airbus A380, for example. Fighter pilots are used to planes that have more performance than you could shake a stick at. Commercial airliners are designed for comfort, ease, noise, carrying capacity, etc. The ailerons and elevators for a commercial airliners are about the same size as the ones on the fighter even though the fighter is less than half it's size. To a fighter pilot, a jetliner may feel sluggish compared to the feel of a fighter that will turn or roll on a dime. Landing is difficult because you need to know what the minimum and maximum speed the aircraft needs to be at during final approach, how much speed is bled if air brakes/flaps are engaged, what speed the gears can be safely extended at and how much the gears itself affect the speed of the aircraft, what angle the aircraft needs to be at during it's glide slope, how high the nose can be pulled for a flare during landing, how much runway space is needed, etc. If you don't do any of those things right, you could end up slowing down so much that the aircraft stalls and simply falls out of the sky in front of the runway. Or he could slam the jet too hard into the runway and crush the landing gears, or bounce up and float along the runway until he actually runs out of runway and crash into the fence at the end. It's not something you figure out on the first flight. Anyone trying to transition from a fighter needs to be retrained on how to fly and land that particular commercial jet. I'm sure in an emergency, a fighter pilot would be a better candidate to land the plane than someone not trained at all. He would still have to be guided through by a pilot trained in handling that jet, though.

It doesnt require superhuman skill to fly a plane into the pentagon
but it does require a high level of skill. When you land one of
these big planes at an airport and even much smaller ones, you
have navigational aids to help you. There is a thing called a
glidepath and you can watch an instrument in the cockpit and
follow it down. It has to do with jockying the power and increasing
and decreasing the amount of flaps. When you raise the nose
of the airplane is slows its airspeed. To fly into a building close
to the ground, you only have your altimeter to help you and you
only have your vision to judge how far away you are from your
target. It seems to me that the pentagon would be equiped with
surveillance that would alert them that they were being attacked.
They might hesitate to shoot down an airliner, but at least they
could have evacuated the area. Even if the plane landed earlier
than they were trying to do, it would still roll on into the building.
The whole issue does seem a little controversial.
Its a lot easier to hit a tall building, because its not critical at what
floor you hit and if you overfly, you can turn around and make
another pass.

Answer 4

It didn't come down at such a great angle, if you watch the video it was a small angle. And the 400 MPH statistic is marginalized by the fact that it has been flying for hundreds of miles. They had all the time in the world to set up their approach after they took the airplane.

Answer 5

OK - at your suggestion,I am gonna dismiss this as the rantings of a conspiracy nut.
There was a reporter on the plane who called her husband and stayed on the phone until the plane crashed. She gave exact details on what the hijackers where doing almost up to the last second before the plane hit.
I would definitely take her dying declaration over your conspiracy theory.

Edit: cantcu - her name was Barbara Olson. I found one link to her, and I will post more in a second.

Answer 6

It doesn't take superhuman skills to fly a Airbus 380 or Boing 777-300, or 747! It does take a lot of skill and knowledge!

You are correct in saying that few, if any, pilots, could have done what the alleged 757-200 did which hit the Pentagon!

It is also strange that a 100 ton Aircraft which is 1/2 football field long, and almost a football field wide from wingspan, that was loaded with ove 3,000 gallons of JP8, doesn't have one photograph! Not one! If one did hit the Pentagon all the FBI has to do is release one photograph, which they have not in 5 years!

We sure have tons of pictures of them hitting the trades though!

I would like to hear that phone call! My cell phone gets dropped all the time and I am not at 30,000 feet going 525 MPH!

Answer 7

Why dont you do some research you idiot.It takes a lot more talent to land a plane than to crash one .Any idiot can do that .Why dont you do some background work before you level such ludicrous accusations.You people are all the same.athe first to complain.The last to offer any credible evidence of what you claim.Guess what else???You should thank every one of those families whose sons and daughters and fathers and mothers have died in Iraq and Afghanistan because they are defending your right to run off at the mouth like this.You dont even deserve to breathe the same air as they do!!!!!!

Answer 8

GOOD pilots are trained to INSTINCTIVELY follow several simple rules: Avoid running out of sky, Two objects can never occupy the same space and Lift + Thrust MUST be greater than Weight + Drag.
You are NOT a good pilot if you cannot follow those simple rules.

Answer 9

didn't even touch the ground, the grass was perfect, and then it left only a 16 ft. hole. Have you ever been on one of those things, they are a lot bigger than 16 ft. wouldn't the wings be laying outside the hole. Why won't they release the surveilance video from the hotel and the gas station across the street. Why did the FBI forbid the employees of those companies from talking about the attack

Answer 10

Doesn't seem to me that it would require any more precision than it takes to land a plane.
